Discovery of an Opium Antidote IT ia a careel j possible to exaggerate the sensation caused here (writes a New York correspondent) by the'act of a young doctor, who claimed before an assembly of savants in this city to bave discovered an infallible anti dote for opium, morphine, and similar poisons. Despite thc protesto of those present, who declared that they would not sanction certain suicide, he mixed three grains ¡of morphia in two wine, glasses of water and drank them. Immediately afterwards he took fonr grains of permanganate of potash, similarly dissolved, in water. The doctors, who watched bim for five hours expecting to see him die, seeing that one grain is a fatal dose, coald detect no injury whatever to thecosstitution nor any effect from the poison, and be ja now alive and well. Seeing that half the deaths due to poison ore said to be caused by opium and its pre parations, the importance of the dis covery is enormous. The doctor happened upon thc antidote in this way. He...

Stallion and Billi Fight A FAHMEit at Busk Creek, Illinois, owned a duo Durham bull and a HtalHon of good breed. He had always i turned his stallion and bull into tho same lot, and ibero was apparently tho bost of fooling botwoou them, Suddenly, however, the bull began frantically cavorting.around the barn yard. The stallion for a time" looked on in apparent consternation at the queer antics of his .erstwhile sober friond, nnd then he " began trotting around after tho infuriated animal as it ran from one side of the enclosure to tho other. Finally the bull, after almost -exhausting itself in an effort seemingly to throw something off his body, suddenly turned and made for the stallion. The new tactics of tho bull took the horse by surprise, and it was only after hie - iuuk had been severely gored that, he realised his situation, and then began a battle which would have thrilled the heart of a Spanish bull fighter. The stal lio n made no attempt to kick, but Btruck viciously with its...

FAREWELL TO UR. T. K. SKITS, YEBTEBDÍT (Friday) afternoon a number of friends of Mr. T. II. Smith, district surveyor, assembled at the Royal Hotel to bid him fare well on his departure for Armidale, to which, place he has been appointed as district surveyor. Mr. it. G. Dulhunty, J.P., occupied the chair, and in a few well-chosen words proposed Mr, Smith's health, which was drunk with musical honours. Mr SMITH, in responding, said il was difficult for him to find words sufficiently expressive to thank those present for such a gênerons and unexpected send-off, and for the kindly expressions of goodwill pol forward by the gentleman proposinp his health. The change of climats and work to Armidale, so far as he knew, was not permanent - his appointment there was for only sis months, so that he did not feel ht was leaving Dubbo for good. As c guarantee that his heart was still in this district, he might say that ht was not breaking np his home, anc Mrs. Smith would remain for a while afte...

NOTES AND COMMENTS. As s result of his conference with Mr. Slee, Chief Inspector of Mines, Mr. Creer hos decided that no more passes will be issued to unemployed persons who wished to go to any railway station from whioh Wyalong goldfield could be easily reached. The prophecy of Mr. Moulton, ex-president of the Wesleyan Con ference, that a gold discovery would solve the unemployed question in a fortnight has apparently commended itself to the authorities of the Labour Bureau, who have endeavoured to ; bring about the happy realisation by i a freehanded distribution of passes to I those who wished to try their fortune I at the new £1 Dorado. The conse quence is that there is every pro bability that the next stage of the question will be worse than the first. Official reports from Wyalong now state that the population is 10,000, while the field only promises to support 1500. That will moan, according to Warden Baker, of Temora, " starvation, poverty, and crime," and thus the Governmen...

The Premier of Cape . Colony. IT was during the governorship of Sir Hercules Robinson that Mr. Rhodes began his work. Sir Hercules was not averse to a little and orderly extension of onr Empire in South Africa, bat the magnitude of Mr. Rhodcs's ideas wera apt to startle him, " Where will you stop ?" Sir Hercules asked him daring one of the conversa tions that followed on the acquisition of Bechuanaland. " I will stop only whero the country has been claimed,'' said Mr. Rhodes. Sir Hercules, taking up the map. found that this would take the British territory up to tho southern border of Tanganyika. He was, as Mr. Rhodes 6ays, in telling the story, " a little upset." " 1 think," he remarked, " you shonld be satisfied with the Zambesi . as a boundary." That was ten years ago&amp;lt; and to-day the map is painted red up to the southern 1 border of Lake Tanganyika, with the Zambesi River far in the rear.
